You just hit on something that has been rather obvious all season but rarely discussed here.

There's a lot of talk about the team featuring BI as the #1, which they have, when he's clearly not a #1.


But I'm not sure if some haven't noticed, BI isn't our #2 either. CJ has been better than BI this season. I see a shite ton of talking up of BI's passing/facilitating, and we know CJ has moved off ball way more, and yet CJ is STILL averaging almost as many assists as BI.

I trust CJ more than BI as a #2, though I don't particularly think either can be a #2 on a title team, unless we had that version of Zion we thought we'd get and saw December 2022. And this CJ fits wayyyyy better with that Zion than BI does.

I've been the one having to defend BI a good bit lately, but i'm honest about saying he can't be our #1 guy.

I am without a doubt open to moving him for a legit PG.
If there's a ball dominant PG out there that can play good D and set up CJ and Trey and Zion and run a PnR with an athletic big like Jarrett Allen, I'd feel a lot more confident with that type of team going forward than the one currently.

problem is i have no idea who that PG is. I mean obviously Halliburton, but they aren't trading him.
